Antiwork

So since everyone in here seems to apperciate Denmark, and i do understand it! I also just wanna tell you guys about how life can be on the darkside of Denmark, if you come from “slums” In denmark, the Unions and the welfare system only works for the higher, middle and lower middle class, if your really low class there is no help from Denmark and your left to your self, (and i get it many will properly say its lies etc. But i dont care.) Secondly, i come from a “Nomade” family who lived in different cities etc. And lets just say my parents didnt treat me well. No one in Denmark could help me, no matter how much i begged both school, communes etc if my parents just lied, then everything was okay, when i left my parents at age 16, there was no help, and i had…

I currently work for a pretty large promotional product and apparel distributor here in the US. Coming from my last job, I am making about twice what I was making there a week and 6 months in got a dollar raise so not much to complain about at face value I guess. However I work in a team of two. The person that I replaced took the position for 6 months before they decided to leave, and now the other person on the team is leaving after 10 years. I talked to her today during a brief retraining and she asked me if I wanted to know why she was leaving and I said yes. She showed me what the sales parter makes a week. For reference, this dude does almost absolutely nothing aside from complain about orders not being processed quickly. 4 months into the year and this dude…

I manage a small restaurant and myself and my staff are disgruntled to the point of wanting to walk out. My question is, is there any recourse my employer can take against me if I leave my keys, uniform, and any other company property at the store and just email them that I’m not coming in anymore? I don’t think we have it in us anymore to give a proper two weeks notice (and we want to kinda fuck them over too tbh). Any advice or information is welcome, thanks.

The interview started off well but after a couple of questions, the interviewer was not good at what she did and was unfriendly as the first person you meet when you are trying to get to know the company. She was not experienced with the questions she asks and is very condescending with responses and questions. There were a couple of particular moments where I thought “Ikea is not a workplace I want to be in if this is how they treat people”. ​ 1) Asked about how I would give feedback or criticism to a PEER (A peer is someone at your own level). I started to recount some events with a colleague when she interrupted and again stated a peer. At this point I was confused and asked “Do you mean a friend then?” and she responded with “A superior or someone from management” in a matter of…

Here’s some context first: I grew up thinking Chick-fil-A was a great place to work, and it’s always been a difficult fast food job to obtain if you’re newer to the fast food industry. As someone with experience trying to get the job pre-COVID, I can attest to this. Lately when I go to eat there, the service is SO bad. They don’t put the food on the racks they belong on very much, and they keep the bags with names turned away from people and very often don’t confront customers that are waiting, so the food often just sits there and they are talking amongst each other about whatever, and it’s surprisingly hard to get their attention. It’s awful. It defeats the point of ordering on your phone. Today my phone wouldn’t load the menu, so I ordered inside. I was the only person in line, and the 2…

I did it. I finally stood up for myself in a work enviornment. Never done that before. I feel amazing and unstoppable! Even if I get fired I do not give a single f**k right now. My boss was lecturing and insulting me for no reason as usual in the work group chat. So, I sent a private message “I don't like how you belittle me in front of everyone.” Simple as that. She raged, called me, I didn't answer. Called my co-worker, he gave the phone to me. She said “I'm 40, you're 20. You,'re half the age as me. You cannot tell me what to say, when to say, or where to say it. I've been in this industry for blah blah blah. I did not hire you to be a princess. Understood?” Apparently asking for human decency is being a princess now. Shocking. I held my laugh.…

I work for a forestry consulting company. The crew put boundary where it shouldn’t have been because nobody had identified a particular new no-go zone along the way. This wasn’t necessarily my fault, it should of been identified by several people along the way before me (including my boss) who should of done their due diligence, but I’m the one that found it after the crew had put the boundary there in the field. My boss was loudly proclaiming in the office about how much money they are going to lose because they lost the day of work and how it will come out of my pay check. He meant it as a joke but as someone who lives pay check to pay check, it’s not funny. I think he noticed my feelings were hurt because he tried to lighten it up more but it was still cruel and unfunny…

I've been looking for another job for 4 months. I've pretty much put in applications everyday since January, used different platforms like indeed, LinkedIn, glassdoor, upwork and more… I've gotten 2 interviews for sales/commission jobs that I don't feel are reliable enough to support myself. 1 upwork task that paid me $5… My part time job just covers rent and I am scraping by, cutting stuff out of my life and having my partner pay for groceries & gas… I had 2 part time jobs working over 40 hours for a few months, but with both positions in fast-paced food service with short staff I couldn't take both… I left one & have been searching for remote work since then (because my car got stolen!) I've applied to mostly remote positions, but also some positions close by that I can bus/bike/walk to… I feel like such a burden on my…
